...Running Head: Week 1, Individual Assignment; TCP/IP Architecture and OSI Layers TCP/IP Architecture and OSI Layers [your name here] NTC360 Network and Telecommunications Concept Associate Professor Anthony Bruno January 04, 2011 The purpose of this paper is to describe an OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) Model with details about each of the seven layers. The OSI reference model adopts a layered approach, where a communication subsystem is broken down into seven layers, each one of which performs a well-defined function. Additionally it is important to understand the purpose of the OSI model in the overall networking architecture especially as it relates to the TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) Architecture, which also consists of layers each playing a particular role in the networking design. Generally speaking, the network protocol layer, which is similar to the data and network layer of the OSI model includes the protocols that allow clients and applications to send data over the network. This includes TCP/IP, NWLink (IPX/SPX), NetBEUI, Infrared Data Association (IrDA). However, the purpose of this document is to focus on the relationships between the OSI model and the TCP/IP architectures, and how they may interact together. Finally, as demonstration of this relationship a visual diagram has been provided to depicts how the TCP/IP layers correspond to the OSI model and layers. To begin with...

...Introductory Network Concepts, Network Standards, and the OSI Model 1. There are many reasons for a company to network its computers, some are as follows; Share software, information with others on networks, cheaper than buying individual software and hardware for each standalone especially if the software often offers deals for amount being purchased, e-mail between network users, and flexible access from any computer on the network. 2. Two fundamental network models are peer-to-peer(P2P) or Client/Server. In a P2P network, every computer can communicate directly with every other computer, and no computer on this network has more authority than another. On a client/server network every computer acts as a client or a server. 3. There are 3 types of networks depending on how much territory they cover, they are LANs, MANs, and WAN networks. LAN networks cover a small area like one building or one office. MANs cover multiple buildings like a handful of government offices surrounding a state capital. A WAN network is one that connects two or more geographically distinct LANs and MANs. 4. A server is a computer on the network that manages shared resources. 5. A client is a computer on the network that requests resources or services from another computer on a network. 6. A NIC or Network Interface Card is the device that enables a workstation to connect to the network and communicate with other computers. 7. A NOS or Network Operating System is the...

...NETWORKING Networking Paul F. Scheelk NTC/360 Network and Telecommunications Concepts Instructor: Anthony Bruno University of Phoenix 1. What is the range of usable IP addresses for the following IP subnet? What is the broadcast address for the subnet? 10.150.100.96/27 The range of usable IP addresses is 10.150.100.97 – 10.150.100.126. The first and last addresses are not usable and cannot be assigned to hosts as one is used as the broadcast address, 10.150.100.127 and 10.150.100.96 is the address for the sub network. When initially determining the usable addresses the /27 provides the information that the first 27 bits are network and the remaining 5 are host addresses. The subnet address would be 255.255.255.224. 2. Describe and explain the difference between circuit bandwidth and network throughput. Focus on networking. Communication networks using Ethernet or other protocols distinguish throughput as the average rate of successful packet delivery over a communication channel. The information is passed over a physical or logical link such as Cat5, 5A or 6 or media such as coax and fiber. It is also measured over a wireless network. It is usually measured in bits per second (bit/s or bps), and/or data packets per second or time slot. Throughput is the actual speed that the data is being transmitted. Bandwidth on the other hand is the maximum speed in which packets can be sent or received. Bandwidth is almost always a higher rate than throughput. 3. Research...

All the other steps for both are the application which it the physical app that you click on and it helps you use the app. Transport is the step that let you transfer data from point to point. The next step is Network which is responsible for addressing and controls the routing. The other step is what it does is that it is responsible for transition and establishes logical connections. The next is physical layer at it stream over physical media. The network components and there primary functions are that its build into layer and they all work with each other. There primary functions are that this that connects you to the network and it allows you to connect you to the network. The difference between WAN and LAN is that LAN primarily Ethernet and Token Ring and WAN uses technologies like MPLS, ATM, Frame Relay and X.25 for connectivity over longer distances.

...How has the Growth of the Internet Supported or Hindered Castells Concept of a Network Society? Castells concept of a network society is an interpretation of a ‘new society’, one which has developed from the earlier information society. Within this interpretation, Castells states how society has shifted from ‘vertically organized, rational and structured activities to networking forms of activity’. These networking forms of activity provide greater flexibility and adaptability as networks have the ability to organize resources and activities whilst reacting to the environment, transforming themselves rather than clashing with other structures (Castells, 1996). Castells concept explores the social, political, economic and cultural impact of network technologies and the implications of networking activities. According to Castells, the network society has evolved through a growth in networks, induced by new technologies including microelectronics, digitally processed information and communications technology. These technologies represent a new dimension in society providing a modern infrastructure supporting emerging networks. Whilst Castells explains a growth in social networks, he recognizes that they are not a new form of social organization but a ‘key feature in social morphology’. Therefore, rather than describing existing social networks, the network society highlights the impact of networks which manage information using modern electronic technologies. The...

...FCAPS Paper When dealing with network management systems, reference models are developed to ensure that all aspects of network management have been taken care of during the management process. In other words, the models exist as a conceptual way of looking at, and breaking the network down into smaller, more manageable pieces. One of the most popular, and widely used and accepted network management reference models today is the FCAPS reference model. FCAPS stands Fault management, Configuration management, Accounting management, Performance management, and Security management. This paper will go into some detail to explain these management concepts as they relate to network management. The first management concept in the FCAPS model is fault management. Implementation of fault management ensures that the network continues to operate in the way that it was intended, and that corrective measures react appropriately when it does not. Faults can be described as any event that has a negative effect on or to the network. According to the Network Management Systems web site, “The goal of the fault management is to recognize the fault, isolate the fault, correct the fault and log the faults that occur in the network. Usually when a fault occurs, a network component will send a notification to the network operator so the process can be started to determine what the fault is and what caused it.” (Network Management Systems Nms). The second concept in the FCAPS model is configuration...

...Integrative Network Design Project As the Integrative Network Design Project moves in to part three the need to evaluate the Patton-Fuller Community Hospital network to identify additional properties and functions. This paper will look at the hardware and software needed to secure the network against electronic threats, will examine the use of Wide Area Networks (WAN) and Local Area Networks (LAN) and the technologies used to implement them, and finally the concepts of data communication networks will be explored. In any organization it is imperative that measures are taken to protect the network from potential threats. Vital information contained on the network may be at risk to potential internal or external network threats. With this stated it is important that the organization determines the safeguards that need to be in place to protect that data. Patton-Fuller Community Hospital will need to evaluate the software and hardware options that are available and will provide the most secure method for protecting the critical data stored on the network. To make an informed decision the types of potential threats must be first identified. There are a number of threats to networks; social engineering, port scanners, packet sniffers, password cracking, trojans, denial of service attacks, server bugs, and super user exploits. Each of these uses techniques designed to access the network and impair the networks ability to function or to obtain vital data. Social engineering...
